A man who turned himself in to police last week after a fatal shooting in San Francisco's Glen Park neighborhood has been released from jail after prosecutors decided they could not file murder charges against him at this point, a district attorney's office official said.

Valdespino, who police had identified as the main suspect in the case, turned himself in Thursday, Williams said.

He was booked on suspicion of murder and unlawfully possessing a handgun, according to police. Under state law, Valdespino is entitled to appear before a judge and be arraigned on any charges within 48 hours of his arrest, not including the weekend. He was released by Tuesday, a sheriff's official said.
